Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2012-834:04 advisory.

 This package provides an LDAP back-end plug-in for BIND. It features support for dynamic updates and internal caching, to lift the load off of your LDAP server.
 Security issues fixed with this release;
 CVE-2012-3429 The dns_to_ldap_dn_escape function in src/ldap_convert.c in bind-dyndb-ldap 1.1.0rc1 and earlier does not properly escape distinguished names (DN) for LDAP queries, which allows remote DNS servers to cause a denial of service (named service hang) via a $ character in a DN in a DNS query.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
